Paul Pope: My comic Mahaguru & idol interviews

i cant remember when i notice and fall in love in Paul Pope works..very inspiring and lush brush works..
maybe circa 2001- 2002..

yup heavily influence on his brush work..that make wanna use brush for inking ( one of the reasons)..back in 2006.. cant wait for his latest comic 'Battling Boy'.. he's approach on pacing narrative and flow is unique lush and artistic..hate and love pulp raw and gritty at the same time.
here's a collection of paul Pope interviews..

for those dont know Paul Pope..let me intoduce you to..








On the Fringe with Paul Pope from Carlos Molina on Vimeo.

art is subjective..
saya amat menyukai persembahan style cara dari paul Pope ini..
coba nak semadikan serapkan dalam karya saya..
tapi masih ada..atau masyarakt di Malaysia ni masih tak semua menerimanya..
apa kata anda?
masih nak komik yg kemas cute dan simple..mainstream audience?

my first digital comic: still weak have to re-ink

my first try on doing comic digitally..
well it doesnt work well.. i'm still weak inking/draw digitally.have to ink it again..
the editor say its still raw..and too many lines..
have to make it clean..immaculate..
have to learn to draw clean neat and cute..

here are some of my digital works (comics)..

malay entry:

masih lemah lukis digitally..ink kemas style cute nih..

kena belajar lukis kemas, cute di sukai ramai yakni UMUM..

camna nih..dah itu kehendak editor dan penerbit..kena akur kalu tak melepas gaji bulan depan..

"no more indy pulpy raw gritty drawing style for me.."

kena lukis tyle simple and cute..

Digital Daily Sketch01: Torpedo

i was bored doing other commercial jobs to earn a living..pay the bills loan etc..
i just cant wait to get my hand on my creator own comic..
so i look at my comic collection shelves (most of it not finish reading it). I pick Torpedo vol01.  love and inspired brush work by Jordi Bernet..
so i did a fast digital sketch..promised myself to do daily sketch routine..until today and some not scanned yet to put here in my blog

Malay entry:
belasah je...masih lemah dalam digital painting drawing...juga dalam melukis..
perlukan praktis untuk membiasakan diri dgn digital drawing dan painting ni..
walaupun buat stryboard dan concept art serta character design di produksi animasi sebelum ni..
lukisan saya masih lemah..masih belum cukup menarik perhataian ramai..

harap bila dah fultime keje sendiri ni..dapat la buat digital praktis..
"practice makes perfect"..
harap2 boleh la jadi sehebat para digital artist macam geng2 KLP & pre pro saladin animated series..

dipersilakan komen..
aghhh jiwa ni meronta bila nak sambung komik Liga Pendekar ni..tetapi komik..jiwa saya lebih pada melukis secara analog: pensil kertas ink dan berus.

Ultra Qalif fan art

fan art for one of the bestselling comic in malaysia: Ultra Qalif by BopHairy

harap dapat berkat dari Bop hairy..komik bestseller top 5.

malay entry:
keje sendiri aka self employ macam ni la.. tak buat keje comercial/mainstream..tak dapat gaji pulak..
so kena dahulukan job2 sebegini utk cashflow tu berjalan..
sebulan dua pertama ni agak sakit... masih gagah melaluinya..
tapi bila malas nak layan client..suruh edit " lukisan ni boleh sambungkan garisan ni...tak nak ada putus-putus"
biasa lah bila buat job ilustrasi buku latihan/kanak kanak..lukisan kena cute dan kemas..
aduss

kelemahan saya tu..tak reti nak lukis style cute dan kemas..

buat ajelah..layan je lah..tapi malas betul nak edit lukisan sendiri..banyak pulak tuh..

Sinestro fan art

here's a piece of sinestro fan art i did when i was at singapore toy game comicon.last dec 2010..
the fan art for GnB Comics singapore.
my first fan art for a comic shop.


since i am full time illustrator..fulltime comic artist.. i thought i can draw more fan art and sketches..
i was wrong..have to do other things to make a living...and my own creator own comic is pushed behind.

WIP on digital sketch version of Sinestro.

Malay entry

jadi bisnes man( bisnes servis melukis la) aka fulltime freelancer ..buat komik fulltime..dengan jaga anak serentak bukan senang..
ingat boleh jaga deadline siapkan komik Liga Pendekar#2...sangkut..
kena fokus keje commercial..produksi lain utk menjana poket dan akaun..
yg penting cash flow kena jaga..

begini la bila buat komik creator own..di mana copyright milik anda ,,,dan income based on sales/royalti..
kita kena dahulukan job dana lain dulu..
takpa akan cuba siapkan Liga Pendekar#2..Ayuh!
